It sucks that anyone should HAVE to be acareful about what they write about, for the purpose of work. A blog is supposed to be a place where you can exercise your freedom of opinion and speech. As long as you aren't writing company secrets... such as revealing the secret recipe for Coca-Cola or something... they shouldn't be allowed to complain. Especially if you try to disguise the name of the company, names of co-workers, etc.I am lucky because I don't actually have a job (I'm such a loser... no, j/k, my "job" is taking care of the girls!) but when I do censor myself, it is mostly for fear of making my friends and family members angry if I complain about them. Thats a bummer too, though... sometimes you just want to vent, and not have to apologize profusely afterwards! Ya know?

I would not write a thing on my blog about work...the stuff I would normally want to say is negative anyway, and when I want to rant about something, that is what The Man is for. :) After all, they are paying me.

I'd gone through the same thing. My advice to you is, people can figure out where you work. And, so long as people know where you work, anything you say, whether you like it or not, represents the company you work for as well as yourself. Maybe by the nature of where I worked I am particualrly sensitive to this, but I am guessing by the nature of your work that you are also as well.

Additionally, I've recommended someone for a position at my former employer based on reading that person's blog.
